ATTENTION
AUTHORS:
Only short papers will be accepted;
no larger than 8 typeset journal pages. Longer papers will be published
in the
section Special Reports in only exceptional cases,
where fundamental problems are considered. Furthermore, as with most
other scientific journals, authors are obliged to format their papers
in LaTeX, strictly in accordance with the template.
Incorrectly formatted papers (i.e. not LaTeX with the
template) will not be considered. Progress in Physics
is a non-profit/academic journal for rapid publications, and its
personnel
work voluntarily. Authors must assist by conforming to this policy, to
make the publication process as easy and fast as
possible.

Progress in Physics
has been created for publications on advanced studies
in theoretical and experimental physics, including related themes from
mathematics. All submitted papers should be professional, in good
English,
containing a brief review of a problem and obtained results. We usually
accept brief papers, no larger than 8
typeset journal pages. Short articles are preferable. Large papers can
be considered in exceptional cases to the section Special
Reports intended for such
publications in the journal. Letters related to the publications in the
journal or to the events
among the science community can be applied to the section Letters to
Progress in Physics. All that has been accepted for the
online
issue is printed in the paper version of the journal.
An abstract and the necessary information
about author(s) should be included in the papers.
Authors are invited
to submit manuscripts to Progress
in Physics. The journal promotes individual academic
freedom and will consider all work without regard to affiliations. For
this reason, the articles published in Progress in Physics
may not necessarily represent the views of the Editorial Board or its
individual members. All submissions will be read by one of the
Editors, then forwarded to invited experts, whose professional field is
close to the submission. Decision about the submission will be produced
by the Editors, according to the recommendations obtained from the side
of the reviewers. If an article is accepted for publication, the author
must complete the following steps:
1. The
manuscript must be submitted electronically in typeset LaTeX format
utilizing the template
available on the Progress
in Physics website (to work with this
template you need to have TeX
software installed on your computer). It is essential that
the final submission be in
standard professional scientific typeset LaTeX format. If the submitted
article is incorrectly typeset, the authors will be required to correct
the typesetting and resubmit the article prior to publication.
2. All
references must be presented in numerical order, following the sequence
in which they appear within the text. References must be formatted as
follows:
Name A.B. and Name
C.D. Title of the article. Name
of the Journal, year, v.#, no.#, page#-page#.
Name A.B. and Name C.D. Title of the article. Name of the Proceedings,
Publisher, City, year, page#-page#.
Name A.B. and Name C.D. Title of the article. Name of the Electronic
Archive: # of the item.
Name A.B. and Name C.D. Title of the book. Publisher, City, year.
